Reviews

This long-awaited book on sociological theory makes commendable efforts to go beyond Western canons to include classical Orientalist contributions, and beyond the dominant androcentric paradigms to include women's perspectives, like those of Harriet Martineau, Pandita Saraswati, and Florence Nightingale. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries. (B. Agozino, Choice, Vol. 55 (6), February, 2018)
